Normal Like You

I wish that I could be normal like you Love one man wholeheartedly And, Smile through and through I wish that these scars were not Attached to my spirit and soul That I could let a man "see" me But, not as a half as a whole I wish that I could be normal like you And welcome the Sun Hear, the love of my life Say That I am his blessing And that I am his only one Time shifts, endless captures Wayward motions cripple Sway and stick like glue But, I can never be "normal" like you Love is a peculiar oddity that creeps And dives as it may And even if I shared my love I know that He can not stay For man is but a fickle a creature Undocumented savage, they speak With no accord And to my heart, my self esteem None of their in-between nature I can afford But, I wish I could be normal like you And dance with his dreams and reality So, that he would always comfort, love and protect me But, the men of courage, WARRIOR BOSS KINGS are scarce. Yes, very few And I can never be "normal" just like you. But, I'm glad that you're happy At least one of us gets to be.

There is a lot of truth wrapped up in this heartfelt poem...Unfortunately. An emotive piece of prose, Jalysa...It certainly provokes a response! My best regards! :) john P.s A much deserved seven.
